on: Abandoned railroad routes in North America
I noticed the same for my local area. The site listed an abandoned rail that has long since been turned into a popular paved bike path. The pictures for the rail even show the bike path instead of rail.

on: How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017)
Discord ate the market because it is free and good enough voice quality. Before that everyone was paying for voice server hosting or doing it themselves. Is that smart marketing or just the standard operating procedure for startups around that time?

on: Tim Cook’s Fortnite trial testimony was unexpectedly revealing
I am confused, are you saying that the only way to manage your subscriptions in iOS is via the music app and not the App Store?

Yes, why isn’t the DTCC testifying? How does their algorithm set the collateral price? How does a phone call get the collateral price reduced by a billion dollars? Overall it seems that DTCC is a major shadow player that most people never knew about.
Overall I think this entire situation is a combination of sketchy abuse of special power (naked short selling and failure to deliver with little/no consequence) and unforeseen side effects (DTCC able to make entire funds, brokers, and exchanges instantly insolvent over night) leading to the Everyman feeling like they have been cheated by the incumbents. I don’t know the correct path forward but I’ve certainly learned more than I’d expected about order flow.

on: Cyberpunk 2077: How 2020’s biggest video game launch turned into a shambles
From what I understand the majority of players that have run into the save file size issue have been abusing (not saying it is wrong to do just probably unintended) crafting for a profit. That is not to say everyone won’t eventually run into the issue with time but I think it is a little overblown in the moment with all the bandwagon hating.
I have run into very few bugs over my 45 hours and when I have, I think it’s been in places where something was meant time to clean up. Such as going back to a npc after a long interaction that lead me away. So maybe bug frequency has a little to do with play style which I bet can vary person to person and is not compared in-depth via quick internet comments.

on: Epic, Spotify, and Tinder form advocacy group to push for app store changes
Isn’t one of the points Epic is suing Google for because Google has a ton of warnings when side loading? I’m curious if there is a middle ground where grandma is protected but developers don’t feel they are described as potential malware.

For a Cloud Functions like project, OpenFaas seems like a promising project that I’ve been watching but have not yet had the chance to use.
